When I am reborn, I just want to be a top student

Galaxy Technology acted swiftly.

Before the excitement surrounding Wang Donglai's successful moon landing had completely subsided, Galaxy Technology's official website suddenly released two more pieces of news.

Explanation Regarding the Trial Implementation of a Four-Day Work Week and Three-Day Rest Period and Working from Home by Subsidiaries of Galaxy Technology

Draft Proposal for Employee Stock Ownership and Profit Sharing by Galaxy Technology Group (Draft for Public Comment)

Both documents were simultaneously released on Galaxy Technology's internal employee network and its official website.

It is no exaggeration to say that the appearance of these two documents was like the explosion of two nuclear bombs.

Earth-shattering!

No one could have imagined that Galaxy Technology would have such boldness.

In the past two years, few people have questioned or been unaware of what kind of company Galaxy Technology is.

It can be said that Galaxy Technology is the number one private enterprise in China.

The key is not that these are companies without technological content, but rather companies that have truly mastered advanced technologies.

In the past two years, there have been countless news reports about galactic debris.

Wang Donglai had just returned from the moon, and only four days later, he unleashed such a powerful move.

Not to mention netizens, even Tang Dushi and Qin Sheng were dumbfounded.

Galaxy Technology now has hundreds of thousands of employees and is still growing at an extremely rapid pace.

Such a large company suddenly announced that it would adjust to working from home and a four-day work week with three days off.

This is no longer just a matter for one company; it has a significant impact on the entire society.

And that's exactly how things turned out.

Less than an hour after the two documents were released, related topics and terms appeared on major online platforms.

#Is it really possible to work four days on and three days off?#
#Controversy over the efficiency of working from home#
Within just one hour, the topic's readership soared to 15 billion, with over 300 million discussions, and it immediately jumped to the top of the trending topics list.

As for derivative topics like #IsEmployeeStockOwningJustPieInTheSky#, there are countless of them, and they get just as many views.

Although everyone knows that the data on Weibo is inflated, even if it is inflated, once the inflated data is removed, it is clear how significant the impact of this news is.

Even if you divide it by one hundred or one thousand, the actual data is still an impressive achievement.

Galaxy Technology has no official account on Weibo, yet it still generates such buzz.

On the Douyin platform, the popularity is truly explosive.

The relevant videos directly broke through the traffic pool and, under the control of the algorithm, were pushed to all Douyin users in a short period of time.

The number of likes, comments, shares, and favorites has skyrocketed.

On Zhihu (a Chinese Q&A website), questions quickly arose such as "What is the impact of a four-day work week on corporate productivity?", "What is the feasibility of working from home?", and "Is employee stock ownership legal and compliant, or illegal fundraising?"

Although there weren't many answers to these questions, it wasn't that netizens who frequent Zhihu couldn't answer them, but rather that they couldn't believe these things were true.

Apart from students who have never worked, very few people who have ever worked don't hate going to work.

Of course, this excludes leaders.

After all, leaders can enjoy authority in the office, but they don't have that in society or at home.

No one will treat you with utmost respect or courtesy just because you are a group leader or a deputy section chief. You can cut in line or yell at people as you please.

Therefore, you can clearly see the real feedback from working people online.

"I'm speechless, everyone! This is outrageous! Our crappy company is still operating on a 996 schedule, while Galaxy Technology is implementing a four-day work week plus work-from-home policy, and you can even hold company shares! This is simply outrageous!"

"Did I miss something? I just took a nap, how come the sky fell when I woke up? Have the management of Galaxy Technology collectively gone mad?"

"I just can't understand it, I really can't understand it. Why is it that when we're compared to other companies, we can do so much better!"

"Damn, working four days and resting three days, this is like a dream. I've been working for three years and I don't even have a weekend off. I can only rest for one day and I still have to work ten hours every day."

"I'm so envious, why are all the good companies owned by other people?"

"I strongly agree with Galaxy Technology's approach. As a stay-at-home mom, working from home allows me to have more time to take care of my child, and the extra day off allows me to spend more time with my family. I really hope that more companies can learn from Galaxy Technology!"

"This is true people-oriented management. Galaxy Technology has made it very clear that all employees are contributors to the group's development and should enjoy the fruits of the company's success."

"Why are you all only paying attention to the four-day work week and working from home? Haven't you noticed Galaxy Technology's employee stock ownership plan? That's the real deal. I don't need to tell you how valuable Galaxy Technology's shares are. Just having a little bit is enough to ensure financial freedom for the rest of your life."

"Was Wang Donglai brainwashed by aliens on the moon? Otherwise, why would he make such a decision?"

"And what about the executives at Galaxy Technology? Didn't they try to persuade them?"

"Employee stock ownership and dividends sounds nice, but it's really just like chrysanthemums. I checked the relevant laws and regulations, and this is a completely illegal act, illegal fundraising, and it will definitely be rejected by the higher authorities!"

"The idiot upstairs is just sour grapes. What does this have to do with you? Why are you here to uphold justice? Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? What kind of integrity do you have? You're not qualified to instruct the world's richest man on how to do things."

"The emperor isn't worried, but the eunuch is. What does this have to do with someone like you? Why are you so eager to step forward? Even the world's richest man is willing to do this, and you're still unhappy? You come here to give a lecture, just to show off."

"There are always these stupid people who are just ordinary workers but insist on siding with the capitalists, as if they are afraid that the capitalists are too good to the workers."

"Employee stock ownership transforms employees from workers into partners—that's a brilliant move!"

"Such boldness, I guess only Wang Donglai in China has it."

"No wonder Galaxy Technology is developing so well, so fast, and so willing to spend money. Anyone who isn't stupid knows how to choose."

“Small and medium-sized enterprises say they can’t afford to follow suit: working four days on and three days off means a 25% increase in labor costs. Who will bear the costs of investing in home office equipment and efficiency monitoring?” “Employee stock ownership requires profit support. This policy is only suitable for large companies that are ‘not short of money.’ Ordinary companies that follow suit are courting disaster.”

"I'm not trying to be cynical, but anyone with a normal brain can see that Galaxy Technology can do this precisely because its products have high profit margins. Otherwise, it would be impossible."

"Don't be naive! Working from home = being on call 24 hours a day, working four days on and three days off = completing five days' work in four days, doubling the intensity, holding shares = a 3-year lock-up period + harsh exercise conditions, it's essentially just a 'blessing package' in a different guise, I don't believe Chinese bosses would be that good."

"As a former employee of a major company, I think this is true. It's very likely that no boss does good deeds for free; they are all in it for profit."

"Galaxy Technology is so rich, why doesn't it sell its products cheaper? Evergreen Liquid is so expensive, we simply can't afford it!"

"Don't even mention Changqing Liquid, Galaxy Technology's beauty water is a bottomless pit. After my wife used it once, she would buy this stuff even if she had to eat coarse food. It's like she's been poisoned."

"Exactly! Galaxy Technology is just a hypocrite. What's the point of only being good to its own employees? If they're so capable, why don't they do something truly good?"

"It is undeniable that Galaxy Technology has indeed taken the lead, but whether it can actually be implemented is another matter."

"Are remote collaboration tools provided for working from home? Is the 'four-day work week' policy mandatory, or is it based on the 'work four days and rest three days' salary? Does the stock option plan cover frontline employees? We suggest waiting three months to see the 'real experience report'."

"If all companies did this, that would be great, and we could achieve a better work-life balance."

"Working to earn money is to better enjoy life, not just to live. The meaning of life is to use the money earned from work to enjoy the beauty of life and to feel happiness."

"I really envy the employees of Galaxy Technology. I don't know if I can still join now."

"Looking for a referral to Galaxy Technology. I can pay you. Please DM me if interested!"

"Employees of small and medium-sized enterprises cried, shedding tears of envy!"

Wang Donglai did not make these decisions on a whim, such as the four-day work week, working from home, and the employee stock ownership plan.

Firstly, Galaxy Technology's profit margin is high enough to fully support doing this.

Secondly, Wang Donglai did not have a strong desire for wealth and was willing to share more profits.

Secondly, the vast majority of Galaxy Technology's shares are held by Wang Donglai, leaving him with few constraints and allowing him to do almost whatever he wants.

Finally, the essence of Galaxy Technology is that it is essentially supported by Wang Donglai alone.

Without Wang Donglai's abilities, we wouldn't have those globally leading technologies.

For example, intelligent algorithms, beautification algorithms, recommendation algorithms, super-fast charging technology, rocket engines, evergreen liquid, xuanwu batteries, lithium-sulfur batteries, and so on.

These are the core elements that make up the Galaxy Tech giant.

It is precisely because of Galaxy Technology's strong scientific and technological research and development capabilities that it has gained the favor and strong support of Tangdu City and Qin Province.

From a certain perspective, all the employees of Galaxy Technology combined are not as important as Wang Donglai alone.

If Wang Donglai is willing, he can leave at any time, rebuild a company, and replicate such a business miracle in the shortest amount of time.

Therefore, for Wang Dong, the money he gave up was nothing at all; it was far less important than the joy he felt.

The announcement of these measures not only sparked heated discussions among netizens, but also attracted the attention of industry professionals, experts, and leaders.

There are 1.4 billion people in China, and countless of them are intelligent.

The smartest people go into politics, geniuses go into scientific research, clever people go into business, and ordinary people go into manual labor.

The difference in IQ has largely led to a divergence in the fates of most people.

Therefore, after these two documents were made public, many people immediately began to study them, examining the text in detail.

Soon, experts stepped forward to evaluate the two measures.

A professor from Yenching University wrote an article stating that the essence of working four days on and three days off is a "supply-side reform of the working hours system"—once material needs are met, young employees pursue "meaning in their work," and forcing long working hours will lead to "diminishing marginal efficiency."

Data shows that employees who work 4 days a week and focus on 8 hours a day have 35% higher creative output than those working the '996' work schedule.

Working from home reduces commuting time; the average commute time in China is 38 minutes one way, freeing up employees' time and indirectly improving life satisfaction.

As for employee stock ownership, it breaks the traditional model of 'capital monopolizing profits' and allows workers to participate in the distribution of surplus value. This is the practice of 'common prosperity' at the corporate level.

More importantly, the "leisure time" created by the four-day work week and three-day rest period will drive the growth of the "experience economy" such as culture and tourism, education, and health, forming a positive feedback loop of "reduced corporate burden - employee consumption - economic cycle".

This economics professor from Yenching University clearly supports the policy, but where there is support, there will naturally be opposition or doubts. Immediately, a professor from Wudaokou raised a question: the feasibility of the policy depends on the 'type of enterprise'. Technology companies and creative industries rely on 'mental labor' and can achieve work-from-home + short working hours through OKR assessment.

However, manufacturing and service industries rely on manual labor or offline interaction, and forcibly implementing such measures would lead to a decline in per capita output. Especially in the global industrial chain competition, if Chinese companies unilaterally reduce working hours, it may weaken their cost advantage.

Therefore, the proposed plans by Galaxy Technology, including a four-day work week, a three-day weekend, working from home, and employee stock ownership with dividends, are not likely to be fully implemented.

This topic has sparked a large debate among college students and working professionals.

Of course, since college students haven't started working, they lack understanding of society and can only offer praise without providing much substantial advice.

Office workers, who are essentially wage earners, understand this all too well and naturally hope that the four-day work week and the work-from-home policy can be implemented, ideally by all companies.

However, they also know that this is impossible, so their behavior on this topic is particularly complicated.

There are all kinds of people: supporters, questioners, envious, hateful, and slanderers.

For experts and scholars, this has become a highly significant research topic.

If it were launched by an ordinary company, it wouldn't matter, but since it was developed by Galaxy Technology, its value is immense.

Anything associated with the name "Galaxy Technology" will generate significant online traffic.

But for domestic entrepreneurs, the situation is different.

As the news spread, countless people secretly cursed Wang Donglai, wishing they could tear him apart, drink his blood, pull out his bones, and skin him alive. (End of Chapter)
